Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) announced a strategic, multi-year agreement with Amazon to accelerate Amazon's custom silicon innovation and develop AI-powered products and cloud infrastructure. The expansion of Synopsys' silicon IP business serves demand for application-optimized IP with Amazon as its lead customer. Amazon continues its investment in purpose-built chips, including Nitro, Graviton, and Trainium.\n\nBuilding on over 15 years of collaboration, the agreement expands Amazon's use of Synopsys' IP to include application-optimized silicon IP, as well as Synopsys EDA, simulation and analysis (S&A), and agentic AI technologies.

Synopsys and Amazon will work to accelerate multiphysics solutions on Trainium and Graviton, and plan to collaborate on applying AI across silicon-to-system engineering workflows.\n\nPeter De Santis, SVP at Amazon, stated, "Amazon has invested in custom silicon for more than a decade... Synopsys helps us move faster across the design cycle." To accelerate its own development, Synopsys is adopting Amazon EC2, cloud storage, and Amazon Bedrock. Sassine Ghazi, president and CEO of Synopsys, said, "Special purpose silicon is at the heart of AWS innovation... we can dramatically increase the productivity of our teams.".
